  • Argentine singer/songwrtier Juana Molina just released her wonderful new album, Wed 21. And with it comes a music video for its lead track, “Eras.” Artfully creepy, the clip depicts a creature known as the Bichapong that has a blue face with only eyes (including one for a mouth). While

  • I’ve been on the fence about many albums this year, but this is one of the few where I’m torn. For every great moment on the new Arcade Fire record, there’s one that falls incredibly short of whatever stylistic mark the band was shooting for. Rather than

  • On her debut, Rings, I was pretty impressed with the seductive songwriting and primal rhythms that made their way into the songs of Caren Mesirow, a.k.a. Glasser.

    Like a cross between the Raincoats and Screaming Females, this new track from the Debauchees is funky, off-kilter, and danceable. The band’s debut album Big Machines and Peculiar Beings is dropping on November 12th via SonaBlast! Records. Enjoy!
